Interesting idea: Had students in one class complete time diary (where you were and what were you doing). Students in a class spent most of their time working on classes after 5 (and after 11 PM towards end of class). Shows need for use of space during times when typically closed.

Spaces that can morph over time (multiscreens for seminars that turn into gaming screens at night–showed Wallenberg Hall)

Easy videoconferencing

Presence walls (virtual presence in physical space)–not here yet but soon (see Swiss House–physical social environments designed to bring people together virtually from around the world–interesting in terms of diaspora)

Location maps to determine where to implement technology (tracking wireless IPs with permission to see where users are going)

Augmented reality (handhelds for educational gaming–mentioned that pollution game again)

Q&A

How to advocate for investment in physical spaces? Do motion tracking studies of IPs. Says rough average 6-10% is classroom space; the rest non-formal learnign space. Journalling–asked stakeholders “Where did you do most of your academic work?”

Program vs. non-program space–increasing recognition that informal space needs to be programmed

Note: Protect quiet space and must zone for quiet areas and noise and activity

Q&A

Issues of technology support esp. during late hours–expectations will be “amazingly high”, just in time thinking carries over. But teach students and support peer-to-peer learning; encourage”viral propagation” of learning. Also be very thoughtful how you present resources and material to students–where you put handouts, resources; how do you contact people for help or leave messages. possible consortial help for 24 hr service.

Theft & security–put flat panels in secure mounts, etc.; but value of things is changing so theft slightly less likely

Strategies for the future

Balance between informal and formal space

Leverage operational and physical possibilities (less space for stacks so more for collaborative areas; work with ed tech and students services; explore integrated staffing)
